Memories?

I was looking at Miss Foo's blog aka SS Buddy,
& the recent post about SriLanka.

Well, i don't really know much,
we've not started on the chapter,
and i've not been there to witness all these,
and i don't really know much about the conflict,

but watching the video,
actually reminded me of East Timor,
Be it before or after the war,
it looked similar.
(the state of the country & the people living there & their living conditions.)

Their faces on the video, looked similar to the faces of the people in ET.
& all the fighting and all reminded me of the portugese war (i saw that in the ET video.)
& all the injured people, and those bloody (really full of blood) bodies, didn't that also happen in ET?
& all the homeless children, who have lost their parents in the war, & adults who influence them to fight, for revenge on their dead who fight now, also reminded me of the amount of orphanages in ET, and how they grow up only to realise that they have no family, as their parents have died in the war, or worse, thanks to the low medical help in ET, not many of them survive till their first birthday, or even the first day of their lives. Isn't it similar to ET?

The only difference i see is today, ET is a young and happy small independent nation, even though, they still have poverty issues, homeless children and people, and thorn down buildings and pavements and roads, they still lead a much better life now. With most children having a school to go to and now they're able to enjoy their childhood, even if it is not as enjoyable as ours, they still are satisfied and contented with what they have (just a small piece of grass, where they call a field, and village children come together for a game of soccer), there is a difference now, in the lives of this children, even as simple as it is.
But for the people in SriLanka, i see a similar situation, but i guess nothing's changing. No one's moving on, everyone's interested in killing one another in the civil war, and till today this is happening, and all the children there, have been deprived of their childhood, and instead are holding guns and bullets and asked to fight. Is this the way that children should spend their childhood - killing one another? Why aren't countries doing anything to step in to stop then? It was said that, Norway came for a year to intervene and left, but they definately did not managed to bring peace to this country. Would this war ever end? If EastTimor, is moving on step at a time, with countries help, then why can't SriLanka too?

Let's just keep praying that SriLankans would be able to realise about that the civil war is just killing innocent lives, and leading to more problems, affecting more people. If EastTimor has peace through God's help, i'm sure SriLanka would too.

Stop killing all those innocent lives!

Ahhh, i'm getting too interested in this chapter,
Why are SS lessons only twice a week?
